The right side U bolt holding my axle to the fame rusted through and the control arm (which was very rusted) bent as the whole thing hit the road. I got a tow back home and want to replace both control arms, Question is… do I go with new ones from the catalogs or can I by used ones and if so which years will work on my 66 C10?

Good luck finding usable used ones, muchless being able to remove them from a donor in one piece. I would opt for new ones or even performance arms if money would allow it,

BTW, I think 63-66 C10's are all the same although LMC lists them for 60-66 C10 and C20 under the same part number.

48bigtrucks is absolutely right,when it comes to suspension parts always go new, todays new materials are much more durable and most are available at your local parts shop.
